About Our Car Donation Program

A Word From Make-A-Wish®

I am writing today to thank you for your organization’s incredible support of Make-A-Wish. To date, the Wheels for Wishes program has generated over $53 million for our enterprise, a financial milestone that translates into thousands of life-changing wishes for children across the United States.

A Child’s Wish

Granting a child’s wish is a special and rewarding process. A wish is an opportunity for children to take a break from their medical routines and live their dreams. A wish lifts their spirits and helps them fight harder. Wheels For Wishes makes a significant impact on a child’s life by making donations to participating Make-A-Wish chapters. Donating your car to Wheels For Wishes to benefit your local Make-A-Wish chapter can help make a wish kid’s dream become a reality.

Depending on where you live, you can donate a car to benefit your local chapter of Make-A-Wish. The vehicles we receive are either auctioned to new owners or recycled, and the proceeds from their sale stay local, benefiting your local Make-A-Wish chapter.

Donating a vehicle to Wheels For Wishes is an easy way to show your love and support to children in your community. We are proud to offer such a service.

CDF's mission is to help these benefitting charities fulfill their missions with proceeds from CDF's car donation programs. CDF and all benefitting charities are separate and unaffiliated 501c organizations.
